Page 2 Applied Learning Center Undergraduate Research Program— Mentor of the Month We would like to congratulate as the November Mentor of the Month. Save the Date Undergra du May 1, 20 ate Research Con ference 15 Dr. Bonham states, "Undergraduate research is an extension of teaching; it is the best way to prepare our most talented and motivated students for future careers in academia or industry. Being competitive for jobs means not only having taken the classes, but being competent at the actual skills of the trade-- something that you can only get from first-hand experience. I love being able to offer that experience, and see students embrace it and run with it. Some of my lab’s most ambitious projects don’t come from my decisions, but from my undergraduate students asking, ‘Couldn’t we try this?’ That energy, and that excitement to be involved in real research, is contagious and inspires me every day."
